Counter peaks

It is very difficult for Lycan to play against illusionists, moreover, they know how to push lanes and do not allow us to easily approach towers, for example, Naga, against which the hero has the worst winrate.

Of the popular heroes, Sven plays well against us, who quickly kills our units with his splash.

Best of all, we play against weak heroes that we can quickly eat or those who are most important to get to.

Lycan has the best winrate against Draw Ranger and Apparatus.

Game plan

Having received a good farm, ult and Dominator, Lycan should start crushing the lanes. Offlane we can be seriously stressed on the lane, but we can always recruit our own in the forest and still be useful to the team. The timing of our items is important to us. If everything goes well and the aghanim appears on time, then our carry gets a bonus, due to which he can win the game for you. Our main task after the laning stage will be to demolish tier 1 buildings and gain more control over the map.
